I'm confused. Are you considering porting the whole orb to C or just the
exposed bits? 
Wouldn't it be easier to have a small wrapper library of exposed objects
(i.e. the standard corba ones) which aggregate to their C++
counterparts, and to have the idl compiler spit out C stubs which use
the C++ back end behind the scenes? 

Cheers,

Phil.
